Ixion -re 2d - The def. is 'see you' of course. Then, as i see it, 'U' is 'film' and on that we have 'A' = 'before' (it's in Chambers!) and 'DIE' = 'long'. Bit convoluted, but it works.

Thanks for the link to 1986. Love this site - it's lonely doing English crptics in the US. I'm 8hrs behind England - hence the delay in acknowledging your help.

Thanks Nesbitt - was hoping "a die" meant soon in Latin.

Totally lost in the SW.

e.g. 39a Aristos = aristocrats; irons = FEs ??

Hi

On the cabbage clue- I have the answer but is it the colour in traditional spelling or the same word with an a in the middle rather than an e?

I have the traditional spelling at the moment.


Thanks in advance

The spelling of the colour is as given in Chambers
